In the charming beach town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the Aruba Beach Café has been the go-to oceanfront destination for over three decades. Three bars, live music seven days a week, and seating that spills right up to the sand make this one of the most reliably excellent beachfront bar experiences in Broward County. The seafood menu punches above its beach-bar weight class — the blackened swordfish on Caesar salad and seafood enchiladas earn genuine raves — and the Sunday Funday brunch draws a crowd that arrives with energy and leaves happy. Come early for the best outdoor seats facing the water, and stay for the sunset.
